I’m loving Tokyo with all its mad and beautiful stuff and people. This was a trip that I will not forget Also the Japanese people are so helpful like from the way to the airport I ask a man with train I had to take and he made sure that I had the good train. Before he got on the metro…………
Tokyo in a nutshell
Getting around
Getting from Airport (Narita) to your destination buy a railway card plus a 2day pas for the subway this will safe you some money….. And go to the information office at the airport and get the English metro MAP!!! (*and at the big subway of the subway there are info offices where you can buy more day passes for the Metroline )
“Thete are two Metro company’s the Tokyo Metro line (cheap wan) and the Toei line (expansive) So at a machine just go for the Tokyo Metro line and not the Toei line”
Getting a round is easy whit the English metro Map and Lonely planned with city map of Tokyo and your fine (* plus download offmap on your Iphone/Ipad and your will not get lost “by taking a shortcut when your dronk 😉 ”)
Cost
from Airport to a Subway system of Tokyo about Yen 1000 (€10,00) for a railway ticket (don’t go for the JR line this is the expansive one )
(*also getting money whit a pinpas /ATM card works at the post offices but I had bad luck that some do use a old system, but go to big one and your be fine to get some money MAX Yen 10.000)
Metro
A two day pas will set you back yen 900 And a day pas bout at a metro station yen 730 without the Toei line (* You will not needed to get around on this system)
Sleeping
A had a cheap hostel where I paid 2200 a night for a 7 bedroom but me and Mark where the only one there so we had super big room just for the two of use 😛 (*but is was remote from the centre of town)
Eating and drinks
If you like noodles and sushi your fine here its ferry cheap and if you buy at in the supermarket it will cost you 300 Yen But also the Japanese like there France bakeries and there is a good one and cheap at Akihabaria station next to the subway……….. And also you will find at every street corner a drinking machine like a coca cola bottle will cost about 120 to 150 Yen
100 Yen is about less than 1€
My top five peace to see in Tokyo where
1. Akihabaria
With its biggest please for anime and magna shops and bars next to the largest electronics stores in the world. And having a Bachelor in Robotics it is on my number one of course……. And The hostel was close by so I went three time to Akihabaria. The Stores that I like ware the Vstone and Robot Kingdom but also the anime action figures where great to see…. That with all the sounds and lights lets you go in a trance (*it’s a shame that they don’t sell weed there 😉 )
See Movie for more stuff and funny people
2. Park near Akihabaria
Next to Akihabaria is you have nice park with a monastery and lots of history this after a day of Akihabaria is what the doctor orders.
3. Shibuya Crossing
Nice to go to and see the big city and all the people there and there are nice expansive shops and trendy and hip cafes…
4. Shibuya Park
This park is beautiful but will set you back 200 Yen but money well spent if you ask me…..
5. Tokyo / Imperial palace
Go to Tokyo and after 10 min walk you’re will find the Imperial palace but it was sadly not possible to go inside….. But still nice from the outside and you can see the Tokyo tower this nice for one time…..
Also nice places where you can go is somo museum (ore fight), a Baseball match, Annime cafe, Karioke bare And when you have the time go inland to Kyoto ore to fuij and go snowboarding ore surfing on the beach…………..
Sadly I have to leaf Japan but I’m going back to Bali and then to Australia Lucky me………………………..
But I’m will be going back to Japan “Because it was assume !!!”
